So the case I'm using now (Graphite Series 760T) from Corsair came with two 140mm red LED fans in the front and one 140mm non-LED fan in the back. When prepping the case, I removed the 140mm non-LED fan on the back and put one of the red ones there instead. In it's place up front is a 120mm Cooler Master blue-LED fan and there's two more 120mm Cooler Master blue-LED fans on the top and finally one on the bottom. I put the red one in the back so there's nice mix between red and blue inside the case.

I noticed however that the red still seems to be over powering in the color scheme. The Mobo also has a small red-LED strip to the left, and I'm thinking the blue-LEDs on the fans just aren't bright enough.

Would upping the blue fans to 140mm also increase the brightness (since it has to work with making more space glow) or is it just Corsair has naturally brighter fans than Cooler Master?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
So you're telling me that there's a red LED on you mobo and two fans, and you want the one blue fan to viably compete?

I don't really get the point of this thread.

Pick the fan that works the best.

I'm a minimalist so I would probably be using an opaque case with all flat sides and no lights showing save the power.

I wanted to know if anyone else knows if Corsair is brighter than CM. I could've asked the other place I go to for computer discussion, but all I would get is memes.

They're fans.

Pick the one that blows the hardest.

They'll blow the same regardless.

I'm looking for the ones that have the brightest lights attached.

They're fans.
